Optimizing time and cost using goal programming and FMS scheduling

Recently port container terminals plan to minimize dwelling time. In this context we utilize process business model to optimize time and cost of the activities. First, Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) scheduling algorithm is employed to generate alternative routes, which have ascending order of times. Then, the time and cost of the alternative routes became to input of Goal Programming, which obtain the best route with optimal time and cost. The result of this research showed that scheduling can increase work time so that the execution time becomes more optimal, whereas Goal Programming lower the production costs in accordance with the desired target in the company.
